Ukraine War | Proves Big Guns Are Back | best 10 Self Propelled Howitzers in world 2023
Ukraine may offer a glimpse into the future of artillery. As Russia's erstwhile blitzkrieg fizzled into trench warfare, the conflict has become the infantry's nightmare but the gunner's laboratory. Modern artillery offers firepower 24/7 under any weather conditions and without relying on airbases vulnerable to bombardment. The U.S. Army is trying to catch up, with its Extended Range Cannon Artillery capable of hitting targets up to 50 miles away. Drones and counter-battery radar have made shoot-and-scoot tactics a necessity.
France's Caesar is a 155mm howitzer mounted on a six-wheeled truck, and China's new PCL-181 155-mm gun is towed behind a truck. Wheeled guns have the firepower and mobility of an armored howitzer, but without the weight and maintenance issues, he says. Artillery is a beefed-up Paladin, which indicates that the Army will continue to rely on heavy-armored howitzers. The Ukraine war shows that artillery is not just a big gun, but an entire ecosystem of weapons, sensors and networks. Both Ukraine and Russia employ drones to locate each other's artillery, and drones may be the key enabler for armies with limited artillery directing capabilities.
The American 155 mm howitzer changed the war in Ukraine after the Javelin anti-tank missiles strengthened the defenses of the Ukrainian forces. Within hours, Ukrainian forces destroyed 73 pieces of Russian equipment, including tanks and armored vehicles, in the Donbas region.

Since1945, "flying artillery" has replaced big guns as the favored source of fire in advanced Western-style militaries such as the U.S., NATO, and Israel. How to employ — or destroy — those howitzers and multiple rocket launchers have become a priority for both sides. With its
pre-war Soviet-era artillery pummeled by Russian counterbattery fire, Ukraine quickly clamored for longer-range Western artillery and rockets. The Ukraine war also demonstrates that artillery is not just a big gun, but an entire ecosystem of weapons, sensors, and networks.
